I agree with you, Ray. I have an 04 HCH which helped me learn about hypermiling and hybrid driving (pretend you have an egg between your foot and the accelerator pedal). With that prior knowledge I was able to get 34-35 mpg right from the start in my FEH.

With a little over 2k on the odometer now I am averaging right around 35. In fact I looked at my gauge when I got to work this morning and show a 35.5 average with this tank (280 miles so far).
